Vimy Ridge took place 88 years ago.
We are working on capturing locstat data for the 11th Cdn Inf Bde from mid Aug 1916 to Mid Nov 1918.
11 Bde fought to secure the site where the Vimy monument is (with others of course).
All locations will be shown in WGS 84 latitude and longitude for almost 800 days such that you can take a GPS and load in the various grid refs into it and walk to actual sites where certain actions happened with annotated summaries of the action per day.
So stay tuned - if all goes well samples will be aval later this summer.
In the mean time here is the unit history of the 54th Bn CEF for 1917 http://apollon_2.tripod.com/WARPAGES/Ops1917.htm
and that of the 102nd Bn from Comox http://www.donlowconcrete.com/102/warpages/102chap5.htm
explore both sites and you`ll see the cutting edge of the Canadians in France and Belgium
